Wedgie Sled

This is the Wedgie Sled, (Jerry Bennett video), I put together today, 12” x 20” with 1-1/2” fences. Base is 3/4” plywood with a oak runner on the bottom for the miter slot. The fences are Oak, and I made the star knobs with layered 3/4” plywood with a “T-Nut” barried in the layer, cut with hole saws. I also cut up card stock to create the wedges, (from 8 to 40 sides), only thing left is to cut some samples to ensure the angles are correct. Then I can make some from 1/8” hard board. At some point I will make a stop guide to fit into the other miter slot of the table saw.The last picture shows a zero clearance plate with an angled piece of Oak to allow the small pieces to fall away from the blade. Safety thought, keep them little pieces from getting launched back at me.I will use this for my next turning project, segmented bowls.Thanks for looking.

Dozer

(from Lumberjocks.com)


Here is another Toys and Joys build. This dozer is white hard maple with cherry tracks and walnut as the seat.This one involved cutting a cove on the table saw. I haven't done that for years so it was fun making the blade using that method. I enjoy making the track pads and seeing the result when the pins are installed. That is the point when these come to life.

Practical solutions to common plane problems. When a plane is working right, it can produce a silky-smooth surface that absolutely glistens. When it doesn't work, you get an ugly surface covered with blemishes. The problem can be your sharpening, your Source

Headboard for Abuelito

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


My father in law (87 years old) fell and hurt his shoulder, and has trouble getting around any way he was unable to get into his regular bed. So we installed a small full size bed but it seemed naked compared to the large bed they have. I came up with this simple design for a headboard that reasonably matches the original.The bed frame was not designed to have a headboard, hence the brackets that attach to the bed via hose clamps. It does a great job solid and secure, if he needs it for support it will handle it.Thanks for looking.
